Most frequently asked questions
Sleep apnea
1-What are the symptoms of sleep apnea?
Common symptoms of sleep apnea include loud snoring, pauses in breathing during sleep, daytime fatigue, morning headaches, difficulty concentrating, and irritability. Some people may also wake up gasping or choking during the night. If you or your partner notice these signs, it is important to seek medical advice.
Don’t hesitate to consult our blog posts on sleep apnea on our website www.wirespiratory.com .
2-How do I know if I have sleep apnea?
The only reliable way to confirm sleep apnea is through a sleep study (polysomnography), performed either in a clinic or at home. Your doctor or a sleep specialist will analyze your breathing patterns and oxygen levels during sleep. If you often feel tired despite sleeping well, consult a professional for a proper diagnosis.
3-Are the devices covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your insurance provider and country. In some regions, CPAP machines and related accessories may be partially or fully covered if prescribed by a doctor. We recommend contacting your insurance company or healthcare provider to check your eligibility for reimbursement.
4-Can I use a CPAP without a medical prescription?
It is not recommended to use a CPAP device without a medical prescription. The pressure settings must be personalized based on your medical evaluation. Using it incorrectly could lead to discomfort or ineffective treatment. Always consult a sleep specialist before starting CPAP therapy. Otherwise, on www.wirespiratory.com we do not require a medical prescription, you can purchase a device freely. The machines have an autopilot mode, and the pressure will automatically adjust according to your breathing patterns.
Products and equipment
1-What types of CPAP machines do you offer?
On www.wirespiratory.com we offer a wide selection of CPAP and Auto-CPAP machines from leading brands known for their reliability and comfort. Our range includes compact travel CPAPs, standard home devices, and models with integrated humidifiers and smart monitoring features to suit different patient needs and preferences.
2-What is the difference between CPAP and Auto-CPAP machines?
A standard CPAP machine delivers a fixed level of air pressure throughout the night, as prescribed by your doctor. An Auto-CPAP (or APAP) automatically adjusts the pressure based on your breathing patterns, providing more comfort and adapting to your individual needs. Auto-CPAPs are often recommended for patients with variable sleep positions or fluctuating pressure requirements.
3-Which type of mask should I choose: nasal, full-face, or nasal pillow?
The best mask depends on your breathing habits and comfort. A nasal mask is ideal for those who breathe through the nose, while a full-face mask is better if you breathe through the mouth or have frequent nasal congestion. Nasal pillows offer a minimalist design, suitable for those who prefer less facial contact or feel claustrophobic with larger masks. Find all our masks on www.wirespiratory.com
4-Can I use a mask from a different brand than my CPAP machine?
Yes, most CPAP masks and hoses are designed with universal connections, making them compatible with different machine brands. However, there are a few exceptions, such as the ResMed AirMini, which requires specific compatible masks. Always check compatibility before purchasing to ensure optimal performance.
Use and maintenance
1-How should I clean and maintain my CPAP equipment?
To ensure effective treatment and hygiene, clean your mask, tubing, and humidifier regularly. Wash your mask with warm, soapy water at least once or twice a week, rinse thoroughly, and let it air dry. The tubing should be cleaned every two weeks using warm water and mild soap, then left to dry completely. The humidifier chamber should be emptied and refilled daily with fresh distilled water, and cleaned weekly to prevent mineral buildup.
For thorough cleaning, you can use the cleaning brush specially designed to clean hard-to-reach areas of CPAP circuits and masks. Find this brush on our website www.wirespiratory.com
2-How often should I replace my mask, tubing, and filters?
For optimal performance, your mask should generally be replaced every 6 to 12 months, depending on wear and comfort. The tubing should be changed every 6 months, and disposable filters every 1 to 3 months or as soon as they appear dirty. Regular replacement helps maintain hygiene and ensures consistent air pressure and comfort. Find filters, tubing and mask in our dedicated category on www.wirespiratory.com .
3-How do I adjust the humidifier settings?
The humidifier level can be adjusted on your CPAP device according to your comfort and environment. If you experience dryness in your nose, mouth, or throat, increase the humidity level gradually. In warm or humid climates, you may need to lower the setting. Always use distilled or demineralized water to avoid mineral deposits and extend the life of your equipment.
4-Can I use my CPAP device while traveling?
Yes, most CPAP devices are travel-friendly and work on 100–240V, 50–60Hz power, making them compatible worldwide. You may need a plug adapter depending on your destination. For air travel, it is recommended to carry your CPAP as hand luggage, as it is considered a medical device. Some models are specifically designed for travel — lightweight, compact, and battery-compatible for added convenience : see the travel CPAP on www.wirespiratory.com .
